What is ability of a fluid to exert an upward force on an object?
Buoyant force.
What is the ability of a fluid to exert an upward force on an object.?
Buoyant force.
Does air exert a buoyant force and Why does a boat floating in water not rise right up through the air?
A boat floats in water because it is less dense than water. It does not fly into the air because it is far denser than air. Air can sometimes exert a buoyant force, for example a full balloon of air placed in a bath of water will rise to the surface.
Liquids and gases exert a buoyant force on object placed in them?
Yes, liquid and gases exert a buoyant force on object because of the surface tension of the fluid.
What liquid would exert a greater buoyant force?
my liquids
Why gases exert buoyant force?
cuz they come from your ass duhhhhhhhhh
Liquids and gases exert a buoyant force?
Both liquid and gas
Does all liquids exert the same bouyant force?
No. Fluids with higher density produce higher buoyant force.
Do both gases and exert a buoyant force?
Gas expands while water doesn't if you have 8oz of water in a 10oz container then pour it in a 16oz the water will stay 8 oz
Why does solid body weigh more in air than when immersed in a liquid?
the buoyant force of the liquid on the solid is more than the buoyant force of the air on the solid.
What is an example of when the buoyant force of air is greatest?
an airplane
For which of these would the buoyant force of air be greatest?
airplane
